What happened to that well?
"Xiuzhi...Xiuzhi is in that well!"
What?
Wasn't Xiuzhi dead? How did she end up in the well? Could it be...?
Those words really startled several people, and even the well itself felt a chill run down their spines.
"It must be her coming for revenge. She won't let me go. Her ghost has returned!"
A sharp female voice suddenly interrupted the conversation. Su Ping recognized the voice as that of Xue Rongmei, the Xue family's young lady who had gone mad.
As the sound faded away, everyone realized that the ladder was probably missing because a servant in the manor said he saw Xiuzhi's face in the well water. The Xue family was afraid that she would climb up and take their lives, so they urgently sealed the well.
What do we do now?
The boy band members looked at their leader and asked.
"Let's split up and look for clues in other places."
After the boy group leader finished speaking, he looked at He Ruoruo, who was trembling beside him, and asked, "Sister Ruoruo, are you alright?"
He Ruoruo nodded with difficulty, but before she could speak, she heard the boy group leader continue.
"Then Sister Ruoruo, why don't you come with us later? There are many of us, so you don't need to be so scared."
With just that one sentence, He Ruoruo was silenced from saying that she wanted to follow Tu Hengchuan.
She glanced at the boy group leader with some annoyance and reluctantly hummed in agreement.
The only unlocked places now are the woodshed and the maid Xiuzhi's room.
Xue Rongmei's bridal chamber is locked, and it is currently inaccessible.
"You guys pick a room. Whether you find any clues or not, you can meet up here."
Tu Hengchuan looked at the group and discussed.
"But there's only one lantern..."
Therefore, if the search is conducted separately, one room is destined to be without a lantern.
Before Su Ping could speak, Tu Hengchuan said, "Why don't you go to the woodshed? It's darker there, and it will be easier for you to carry the lanterns."
Su Ping was surprised that he had given away the lantern so easily with just a few words, and his face immediately fell.
Without lanterns, they had to rely on their hands to find clues in the dark.
"I'll be with you too..."
After Su Ping finished speaking, she was about to walk towards them. At the same time, He Ruoruo's face showed a happy expression after hearing her words. Just as she was thinking about whether to offer to switch with her, she saw Tu Hengchuan reach out and grab Su Ping's arm.
"No, you're coming with me."
Su Ping was speechless, not expecting him to stop her so directly.
Who wants to come with you?
She instinctively tried to break free, but Tu Hengchuan only held her tighter.
Tu Hengchuan didn't know why, but it seemed that if Su Ping was by his side, he wouldn't be so afraid of the dark environment.
Therefore, at this moment, he would rather Su Ping walk with him than with that lantern.
He Ruoruo looked at Tu Hengchuan's fingers, which he refused to separate, in disbelief, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
When did their relationship become so good?
Before Su Ping could speak, Tu Hengchuan preemptively said, "You're my fan, so you won't be afraid if you're with me."
These words reminded Su Ping of her current role once again. She suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, forced a smile, and looked at Tu Hengchuan.
"Brother Chuan is so great, I like Brother Chuan even more now."
These words stirred up ripples in Tu Hengchuan's heart, and he awkwardly looked away.
In the past two years, many fans have confessed their love to him on Weibo, and some have even changed their Weibo nicknames to "his wife" or "his baby". But for some reason, when he heard Su Ping say this, he felt a little at a loss.
It seems he did something that caused her misunderstanding because of his own selfish motives. He should find an opportunity to explain things to her after the variety show ends.
After all, he only asked her to come with him because of their idol-fan relationship, and he didn't mean anything else by it.
It wouldn't be good if my actions just now caused her to misunderstand.
Su Ping noticed that Tu Hengchuan's gaze was becoming increasingly complicated. Just as she was about to ask him if he was feeling unwell, he suddenly let go of her hand.
Is it because he's been acting too much that he can't control his facial expressions and is experiencing side effects?
Seeing this, Su Ping couldn't help but start complaining in her heart.
Seeing the two of them staring at each other, He Ruoruo snorted and said angrily, "If you're not leaving, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the woodshed.
The boy band members were a bit confused about the situation, so they could only follow He Ruoruo's lead for now.
"Hey, Brother Chuan, be careful."
The male team leader glanced at the two of them somewhat embarrassedly, then carried the lantern and walked over there.
Suddenly, only Su Ping and Tu Hengchuan were left standing on the ground, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Suddenly, the wind picked up again, and at the same time, two muffled claps of thunder sounded in the sky.
The noise was unsettling.
"Let's go take a look over there."
The occasional flashes of lightning exposed the entire courtyard to the two of them.
After finding the direction of Xiuzhi's room, Su Ping started walking towards it.
As soon as he took two steps, Tu Hengchuan quickly followed.
Perhaps out of fear, he pressed himself against her so tightly that he almost stepped on Su Ping's heels.
"Don't follow me."
After having his shoes stepped on twice, Su Ping stopped and said with some helplessness.
Just then, another rumble of thunder sounded in the sky. Su Ping saw that Tu Hengchuan's face was frighteningly pale, and some fine sweat had seeped out from his forehead.
Are you really that scared?
Su Ping blinked, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and found that his exposed skin was very cold, frighteningly so.
"Walk next to me, I'm a little scared."
Knowing that he was too proud to admit he was timid in front of the camera, Su Ping could only use the excuse that she was timid.
Upon hearing this, Tu Hengchuan's lips curled up slightly. He didn't open Su Ping's hand, letting her lead him as they walked together towards Xiuzhi's room.
The interaction between the two made the fans and viewers in the live stream feel like pink bubbles were popping up on the screen.
"Oh my god, I bumped into something again!"
"When did Brother Chuan become so obedient? He's actually letting her lead him forward like this. Ahhh, isn't this a dating simulation show?"
"Sisters, I've never found any chemistry between Chuan Ge and any of his movies, but this time I actually found it between him and a non-celebrity fan!"
"She's so fake. She was so bold when she came in, why is she so timid now? Does this hypocrite realize her carefully constructed persona has crumbled?"
"Now that you mention it, I remember too. Wow, is this woman really that cunning?"
